~ WHlTEfNN' political ana SOclal
circles unite in beStowing the reward OF
recognition to the gentleman whose por-
trait appears in this sketch. AlonZo j.
Whiteman was born in Evansville,
Y. Y. June 10. 1860, and is, therefore,
a trifie over twenty-Seven years old.
He entered Hamilton college at Clinton,
n. Y, when he was sixteen, and grad
uated with highest honOrS four years
later-the youngest member of class of
over fifty. He entered the famous Col
umbia law school in October, 1881, re-
manned there less than year. coming
to Duluth in April, 1882. His first pub
lie employment was in Bell d oysters
bank, where he filled the position of
paying teller for one year, after which
he entered into business ION his own
hook" in March, 1888, devOting his tai
entS to vigorous pushing of his lumber
and pine land interests. He prospered
beyond his own anticipation, and his
sterling ability soon placed him in the
front rank of successful business men.
In the fall of 1854 he ran for the leglSla-
ture against the very popular ID. D..
Knox of Aitkin. and was the first Dem
ocrat that ever carried the city OF Du-
luth and county of st. Louis. He OBJ
tanned majority of 500 in the county,
but was defeated by majority of 600 in
the district. Nearly every voter in the
northern part of the state will remem-
Der the brilliant canvass he conducted
in the state senatorial fight in the forty
sixth district. when he defeated r. S.
Munger, of Duluth, by majority of
513. He is the first Democrat ever
elected to the legislature from this dis
trict, and has so well satisfied his con-
StituentS-and even those who were Op-
posed to him-that he will probably be
continued in the office, or assisted to
higher one. Senator Whiteman is a
firm believer in the principles of Jetfer-
son and Jackson, and is clear-handed,
pure-hearted and honest man in every
sphere of life. He occupies the palatiai
bachelors quarters in the Opera house
building, but the busy tongue of Dame
RumOr cOnjureS up prospective mar
riage for him in the near future. In So
ciety parlance he is a ''mOst-deSirable
catch" Personally, in address he is
rather deliberative at the outset, but
warns up to his subject and becomes
rapid talker at the close of any argu-
ment. He is good parliament man as
ate last year, on several occasions,
proved.
TWO FIGHTS.
Two shocking atfrayS were reported
to the police to-day. One occurred near
Fond du Lac at 10 o'clock Saturday
evening, when John Bolosquet was shot
i'll the left arm by an unknown party
while he was returning from hunting.
The arm is in a dangerous condition.
At 10:30 this morning John Cormack,
alias Reddy, entered the saloon of Muir
name IL Specer with friend, and pre-
paratory to taking drink remarked:
You fellers in here don't like me any
too well, and I'd just as leave
have row or duel, and
have brought my gun with me-"
Bartender George Clark made some re-
ply and Cormack reached fer his re-
vOlver, when Clark. who was quickest,
fired first and shot Cormack in the arm
near the elbow. sending him to the
